Luke 1:50 - Forerunner Commentary

Luke 1:50

48 For ^aHe has regarded the lowly state of His maidservant;
For behold, henceforth ^ball generations will call me blessed.

49 For He who is mighty ^ahas done great things for me,
And ^bholy is His name.

50 And ^aHis mercy is on those who fear Him
From generation to generation.

51 ^aHe has shown strength with His arm;
^bHe has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.

52 ^aHe has put down the mighty from their thrones,
And exalted the lowly.

53 He has ^afilled the hungry with good things,
And the rich He has sent away empty.

54 He has helped His ^aservant Israel,
^bIn remembrance of His mercy,

55 ^aAs He spoke to our ^bfathers,
To Abraham and to his ^cseed forever.”
